Days after Chad Wheeler was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence, the Seahawks released a statement in support of his girlfriend and encouraged the former offensive lineman to get help.
"The Seahawks are saddened by the details emerging against Chad Wheeler and strongly condemn this act of domestic violence," Seattle said in a statement. "Our thoughts and support are with the victim. Chad is a free agent and no longer with the team.
"... We encourage Chad to get the help he needs."
The statement included the numbers for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to encourage those who experience domestic violence or mental health issues to call the numbers listed.
